In the last week I've read stories here and elsewhere about the current administration:

- Ending non-competes

- Ending salaries being used to avoid paying overtime

- Un-banning marijuana

- Restoring net neutrality

- Fining carriers for sharing location data

- And now, challenging dumb patents

Despite your cynical take, that looks like a lot of stuff that's good for me as an individual person.

They also passed a FISA bill that expanded government spying on its citizen. I'd trade all those items you listed to have illegal spying killed.
